<p>XY breakdown <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/05/female-partners-venture-capital-firms-fem-kleiner-perkins/" target="_blank">be damned</a>, looks like one more woman is headed into the VC business, starting next month. Dan Primack <a href="http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/05/31/megan-quinn-quits-square-for-kleiner-perkins/">reports that</a> Megan Quinn is leaving her gig as head of products at Square for Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp; Byers, where she'll be focusing on consumer Internet. Yes, <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/05/female-partners-venture-capital-firms-fem-kleiner-perkins/">she will be a partner</a>.</p>
<p>Said Ms. Quinn in a statement:</p>
<blockquote><p> "Joining Kleiner Perkins is an incredible opportunity at such an exciting time for the firm and technology industry. I look forward to working with the talented team of investment professionals and entrepreneurs to identify and nurture the next generation of consumer Internet companies."</p></blockquote>
<p>Before her turn at Square, Ms. Quinn spent seven years at Google.</p>
<p>Just yesterday, John Doerr <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/05/kleiner-perkins-partner-john-doerr-responds-to-gender-discrimination-suit/" target="_blank">released a statement</a> denying partner Ellen Pao's accusations of gender discrimination. He wrote: "We have long believed the best thinking comes from a diverse set of minds and have highly valued diversity in our partnership and ventures. " And yes, Kleiner Perkins does rank <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/05/female-partners-venture-capital-firms-fem-kleiner-perkins/#slide67" target="_blank">number 5</a> in our survey of women in VC. But it's also true the firm will be operating under something of a gender-related gloom cloud for the next few weeks at the very least.</p>
